Unstable weather in northern Germany: slippery conditions and risk of thunderstorms!
At the start of the week, northern Germany is expecting unsettled weather with rapid changes between showers and clouds. According to the German Weather Service (DWD) forecasts, not only sleet showers but also local thunderstorms will occur on the North Sea on Monday. The temperatures are 6 degrees inland and even reach up to 9 degrees on Helgoland. A fresh, gusty wind blows particularly on the coasts, which makes the situation even more uncomfortable. [n-tv] reports that there will be occasional easing over the course of the day, but Tuesday night will again bring dense clouds and rain or sleet in some areas.
Lower temperatures are expected on Tuesday night with values between 3 degrees on the coasts and up to -1 degrees inland. There is also a slight risk of slippery conditions, which can lead to problems, especially in traffic. On Tuesday itself the weather will remain predominantly gray, accompanied by rain showers and even sleet showers in the morning. Temperatures will continue to drop overnight into Wednesday, bringing with it the possibility of frosty conditions.
Weather hazards in detail
The weather forecast shows continuous cooling in the following days. Cloudy conditions are expected on Wednesday, with periods of rain becoming noticeable, while temperatures continue to fluctuate between 4 and 6 degrees. Even if the wind is initially light to moderate, it can become slippery again on Thursday night. Stormy gusts are possible, especially on the coasts, which will make the weather situation even worse.
Particular attention is also paid to the forecasts for Thursday: Then meteorologists expect rain or even sleet at times, especially in the southeast of Schleswig-Holstein. With maximum temperatures around 4 degrees, the weather remains anything but inviting. [DWD] also warns of stiff to stormy gusts that can occur on the North Sea coast, which urges pedestrians and drivers to be careful.
Climate change and its effects
Agriculture suffers from unpredictable weather conditions that can bring extreme flash floods and droughts. There are also concerns about traffic, with landslides and other extreme events putting infrastructure at risk. Furthermore, the change in the climate also affects the health of the population, since, for example, more and more people are suffering from the extended pollen season.
In view of all these weather forecasts and climatic developments, it is advisable to prepare well for the coming days and to remain vigilant in order to identify and avoid possible dangers early on.
